We all know that Nigeria, being the most populous and wealthiest economy on the continent has a youth unemployment problem

Being young in Nigeria is very challenging and in order for Nigeria to grow faster( which is what we all want) the country needs more investment, and not just any investment but investment that has the interest of its young population at heart.

This is why ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT CENTER (EDC) in collaboration with MASTERCARD FOUNDATION (Young Africa Works) are both championing the TRANSFORMING NIGERIAN YOUTH PROGRAM. This program is designed for Nigerian Youths who want to start, grow and scale their business.

The program aims to create a network of entrepreneurial and managerial change-makers especially youths and women across the Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sectors. The program is open for all but with special interest in those who live in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna State.

EDC are targeting 40,000 learners so if you are an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur within this 3 locations then this opportunity is for you.



Application to be a part of this program is still on.

Just shared this to my friends with small businesses. SMEs are the future and a lot of people can see this already. This is another wonderful opportunity.

I love the concept alot, it paves the way for youths to become entrepreneurs.

See, any move to help our Youths is always welcomed so far it's legit. Is it free?

This is a very good move. Any patient Youth who isn't moved by what Yahoo boys are doing should take charge of this. One that has a job already, is the person also eligible?

OP can I apply? I'm not in either of the States but I can travel to Lagos if need be?

really impressive move by Mastercard Foundation.

@OP I'm seeing three different locations on the platform, is it an online program or do we ve to pick one out of the three locations?

Wow this is massive for upcoming Nigeria entrepreneurs. The pandemic has taught us to learn skills and become entrepreneurs. This is a good initiative.

Training over 40,000 people is a big one and in three different languages. I am going to share the link to my friends so they apply.

I think it is. I just started the registration process

Fantastic, please we need more opportunities like these to help the young population. Things hard for this country

Wow, 40,000 youths to benefit? Amazing initiative this is, even though I just wish it was happening in more locations

This is super interesting, an organization that we carry the youths along. The young people are leaders of tomorrow, empowering them should be a priority in this country.
I appreciate the effort of MasterCard foundation ����

they are doing a lot for young people. This particular program and some scholarship grants.

I just love how these brands and organisations are helping in whatever way they can, this is a commendable collaboration between EDC, and MasterCard.

ItrendNaija:

Thanks for the swift response, I'll register now.

Initiatives like these will reduce unemployment rate to a very great deal, people have been loosing their jobs a lot recently, there's never been a better time for such an opportunity

I actually agree with you. Imagine during the pandemic time most people that did 8 - 4 job had to find skills they can do. I saw a banker then learning tailor while a woman working in an insurance company learning baking. Entrepreneurial skills is a necessity
